The first step to make Mexican Milanesa is to beat an egg in a bowl (or however much you need depending on the number of milanesas you are making). Add a little salt and pepper to the egg to taste, and if you like you can also take a pinch of oregano or Provencal (a mixture of garlic and parsley).

Meanwhile, cut the meat into fillets, as wide or thin as you like. Salt the meat. Once you have mixed the egg and the seasonings together, put the meat onto a plate and coat with egg.

To fry them in a pan, keep turning them when cooking and take them out when the bread crumbs are lightly browned. Once removed, put them on some absorbent kitchen roll and they are ready to eat. Remember that you can serve them with all kinds of salads, chips, soups or noodles.

If you can't find any breadcrumbs in your local supermarket, you can make them yourself very easily. Bake some bread (you can use any leftover bread that isn't fresh anymore) until it is very hard and golden. Then take it out of the oven, let it cool and grate it.
